Bookroo's summary

In second grade, Hank dreams of starring as Aqua Fly in the school play. But when stage fright turns his audition into a buzzing disaster, he's cast as a silent bookmark. As the performance unfolds, Hank's rival, Nick, freezes, and it's up to Hank to step up and save the day. Can Hank turn his small role into a big moment and prove that even the quietest parts can make the loudest impact? Join Hank on this hilarious and heartwarming adventure where laughter and courage take center stage.

From the publisher

Hank stars the same Hank as in the bestselling Hank Zipzer series, only this time he’s in 2nd grade! Hank is a kid who doesn’t try to be funny, but he somehow always makes the kids in his class laugh. He’s pretty bad at memorizing stuff, and spelling is his worst subject. (But so are math and reading!) In the first book in this new series, Hank’s class is putting on a play, and Hank wants the lead part: Aqua Fly. But he freezes in his audition and can only buzz like a fly. His teacher creates a special part for Hank, a silent bookmark. This may seem like an insignificant role, but when his enemy, Nick McKelty, freezes during the performance, it’s up to Hank to save the play!
